Gertrude Margaret Whytehead (Daisy) was our grandmother. She was the daughter of Henry Yates Whytehead and we believe her mother was also Gertrude.
They lived at Bewholme Grange and Granny may have been born there in 1878.
She was the eldest of a large family. We know of Alice, Leonard and Frederick but we are sure there were more.

It is believed that there was once a Saxon settlement nearby that now lies beneath the sea. It was probably destroyed during the 12th or 13th century, when the coastal weather was particularly bad. Here a lady can be seen trying to coax a child down the steps to the beach.

This street, in one of the largest of the Holderness coastal villages, used to be called Poskett Lane. A mile away there was once a moated castle that had belonged to the landowners, the de Melsa family, which died out in 1377.

The name of the village means 'castle' or 'entrenchment'. This quaint public house was probably built on the site of a coaching inn. The present building was constructed in the late 17th century, and it underwent remodelling in the 19th century. It is a focal point of the village.
